This will not be a typical seminar – think of it as a salon or lab. We want to use the time and space to identify common themes and allow organic discussion. The format will include short one-on-one introductions and other innovative forms of interaction, including time and space for informal discussion around coffee and a lunch. We will end with a brief discussion about next steps, which may include an external speaker invitation.
